Great stay on Iriomote, with this entire home to ourselves. Accommodations can be very expensive and hard to find in Japan if you proceed last minute. We were very happy to find this home and pleasantly surprised with it. Fully equipped, quiet neighbourhood, grocery store very close. The hosts were very nice too which was greatly appreciated.

港、スーパーマーケット、郵便局、飲食店がすべて徒歩圏内にあり、最寄りのビーチも車で15分程度で行けます。部屋は、広く綺麗にされていたため、とても快適に滞在できました。 田舎なので蟻や蚊などの虫がいますが、蚊取り線香や殺虫剤がありましたので助かりました。 This house is nearby port,post office and grocery store(super tamamori),restaurants. Futhermore tidy and clean.you can go beach for about 15minutes by car. There are several insecticide in this house. I was comfortable to stay this island. Owner is so kindness.

Absolutely fantastic. Spacious, tidy, clean, comfort, convenience: you should find everything you need. We, a family of four, regret to stay here for only one night. Initially we thought we would go out for dinner, but after checking in, seeing the dining table and kitchen we changed our plan and opted for cooking. We shopped at the supermarket which was less than 2 min walk. The ferry terminal was within 10 min walking distance. When we were in need of something, we found the necessary piece of information written in the right place. Looking forward to our next visit.

Iriomote island is in Yaeyama islands which located in most south part of Japan.

Our stay in Iriomote was perfect thanks to Rey and Sako! Communication upon arrival was excellent and Rey offered to come and pick us up at the port. The house is a wonderful space, surrounded by beautiful nature. You can really feel at home and relax there. There's a beautiful beach nearby, and the bus stop is at a 3mins walk from the house. Rey is a wonderful person, it was really nice to share with her. She arranged reservations for us for a kayaking/canyoning tour and was extremely helpful. She even cooked a delicious dinner for us on our last night ! to sum up, this is the perfect place to experience Ishigaki.Thank you Rey !

Located in a remote area of the island, this is a great place to relax. Rey is an amazing host. Highly recommend!

Many littles attentions which have made our stay so special. We had very good time in this nice little house, we felt home for few days. Rey and Satoshi have been so kind with us and so helpful for organising our 3 days program. Thanks again to them. Highly recommended place. The most beautiful beach of the island just 5 min away for unforgetables sunsets !

Timothée2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

We loved Rey's little surf house. It's little but you have all you need. This is the place to reconnect with nature. The doors and windows are always open and it's just a 5 minute walk to the beach. Public transport is not that good. Only 4 busses a day but some of the guided tours pick you up at the doorstep. Rey is really friendly and tries to help wherever she can.

Rey knows you! His staff has drove us very kindly wherever we wanted. The house is actually a space for sharing and relaxing five minute walk from the beach paradise where you will be absolutely alone. We shared great moments with them and guests of the second chamber. The room, though small and with bunk beds, is nevertheless comfortable with mosquito nets. We could have stayed longer!

Great! For me, it is very cozy and peaceful place. Also Rei-sang and Satoshi-sang are very friendly and kind people. I really appreciate their offerings and kindness. I believe the offering from the Iriomote island is something that you don't want to miss in your life. If you want to relax and have peaceful time away from the busy and noisy places, Iriomote l and Amayura is the place you are looking for.

This hotel is on a small island with a population of 600 people called Kohamajima located 30 minutes by ferry from Ishigakijima.
The ocean around Kohamajima has become a spot for diving and snorkeling and its transparency is outstanding even in Okinawa.
Most of the Yaeyama Islands can be seen, and Kohama Island is a spectacular location that can be seen over 360 degrees.
In the evening, you can see the stars of the stars that became No. 1 star spot spot in the Yaeyama Islands which is also certified in the Starry Sky Reserve.
The hotel is situated on the north side of Kohama Island, a 2 bedroom with ocean view in a beautiful sea and white building that makes you feel Greek Santorini.
You can overlook the sea from the bathroom.
There is a natural private beach in about 3 minutes on foot from the hotel.
It is also recommended for SUP and snorkeling.
There is also a tavern and cafe on Okamajima where you can eat island materials and fresh fish caught on that day.
Kohama Island is a small island, but it is a wonderful island filled with things that can not be tasted in Okinawa main island and Ishigaki-jima.
Couples, single trip, perfect for families with children.

We had a fantastic stay at Daiju and Momo's (and Red's) hotel. The pictures don't do the place justice. The hotel is a stone's throw from a very private and secluded beach. The rooms are big and spacious with a gorgeous view of the ocean. At night (when the sky is clear) you can see stars. We were a little worried about food, being on a remote island for a few days, but the local food was one of the best parts of our trip. The island has a few restaurants and Izakayas. They use local and fresh ingredients in the majority of their dishes. Lots of attention to detail. Everything was wonderful. The hosts were so accommodating. They also run a small cafe out of the hotel restaurant. We really enjoyed Daiju's coffee and Momo's baked goods. Would definitely recommend.

Much more than expectation! We are very glad to be the very first guests of this hotel, and I'm very happy to share the comments with everyone in here! Firstly, the staffs are very helpful and thoughtful from the beginning. As I sent requests to Daiju, he replied me immediately. Also, Red was the one taking care of us, his warmth service and hospitality really made our trip unforgettable. Even though his English is not very good but he still tried his best to communicate with us. Million thanks to Red San! Secondly, Red picked up and dropped us to and from the hotel, restaurant. He even drove us to site seeing and arrange the tour for us. And we really enjoyed the meals that he prepared for us. Lastly, the room was clean and quiet with a beautiful sea view. Towels, hair dryer, refrigerator and kettle are provided. If you looking for a relaxing trip, this is the best choice! I surly will recommend to my friends and hopefully will come back soon!

私達も京都Airbnbでホストをしています。 八重山諸島が好きで今回で小浜島滞在も7回目でしたが、リフレッシュアイランドリゾートホテルに滞在することで最高の体験をしました。 私達の体験を多くの方に伝えるため英語で口コミをします。 ぜひ、翻訳して参考にしてください^^ Overview: We knew this resort hotel five years ago. However, the company was changed and the hotel did not open. We were surprised to find Refresh Island Resort at Airbnb. Truly? Did you open the hotel? We sent an inquiry mail to Mr Daiju. He responded quickly and said that it opened only 8 rooms in 38 rooms in all. I found the place to be incredible and we stayed there for 4 days comfortably. Location: Wow what a wonderful place and what a amazing host! There was a private beach 5 minutes on foot from the hotel. This beach was more beautiful than Phuket and Balii land. It was exactly like the Maldives and the Seychelles! This location truly is the best. The location exceeded our expectations. Hotel: The front desk had everything including Cafe restaurant and many sofa and wifi and wonderful ocean front view. Wow, breathtaking scenery! The Room was super clean. The Room had everything we needed including wifi and bath and toilet essentials. The Room also had a beautiful balcony with a wonderful ocean front view. The Room also exceeded our expectations. Host: Daiju Red Momo was an amazing host. When we got to the Kohama island Port, Daiju was already there waiting. And we took a pick up and drop by car. It was obvious that his main goal was to make sure we were completely satisfied and that all our questions were answered. Even after reading the wonderful reviews about the hotel and Daiju Red Momo, I can say that they are more better in person. Conclusion: There are other luxury two resort hotels on Kohamajima. The luxury hotel is cleaned of the room and exchange of linen every day. However, if we are ever in Kohama island again, we will for sure stay here again. Thank you Daiju Red Momo for your warm hospitality and for amazing service we received from you. They are reliable, honest, and a true Super host. Everything you would want and WAY WAY more from an airbnb. You can not go wrong with this choice, yes all the good reviews you hear is true.

Our stay at Takashi's place was delightful! Out hosts were kind and attentive, and they thoughtfully provided all that we didn't even think to ask for, from breakfasts to bicycles. A lovely, private, self-sufficient room, located on a beautiful, quaint little island. After sunset, star gazing on the tranquil and deserted beach was a highlight of our stay. Highly recommended for those in search of beautiful beaches and a quiet getaway.

Takashi's room is really great, cosy and very clean. It has its own bathroom, toilets and a separete entrance, that's very convenient. Takashi and his wife Leiko are lovely people. The communication before and during our stay was very easy. They helped us a lot in discovering the best of Taketomi island and give us good advice. The breakfast was delicious, very fresh. We spent 3 very nice days there. We higthly recommand Takashi's place.

estelle2016-09-02T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely little room perfect for one person or a couple. It's located in the centre of Taketomi island, just a 15 min walk to the main beach. Takashi san gave us recommendations of places to eat and where to go. He also kindly picked us up at the ferry terminal which was so helpful. After checking out we wanted to visit the beach before leaving, we left our luggage with them no problem and they took us to get our boat back. All in all a fantastic stay and yes the breakfast is delicious and definitely worth it! Thank you!!

Here is the most beautiful sight, you can see Taketomi-Iland,Iriomote-Irand,Kohama-Irand from the Living room.
At the night, you can meet many many stars & firefly.
BBQ OK, Dog & Cat OK out of (URL HIDDEN) I had new air conditioner ,so you will be able to have more better time.There are many insects you see.

Highlights: The home is pretty much ocean-front so the view from the living room was really fantastic. The home has a BBQ grill for renters to use and all of amenities were available for us to use. The bad: Now, we did have a lot of issues with the home that the host couldn't really address. During our visit, the weather in Ishigaki was incredibly hot and the AC in the home was not sufficient to cool the home. With both the AC and cooling fan, we were still sweating just sitting inside the home; it was uncomfortably hot and the cooling unit was absolutely not good enough to cool the home. We contacted the host who suggested we open the windows and doors to allow air flow, which would be a good idea if it weren't for all the bugs and lizards outside. It was too hot during our stay to keep the doors closed but we had bugs everywhere inside the house shortly after. For some, bugs may not have been a big issue but for us, it definitely was. It was either stay uncomfortably hot with the doors closed because the AC unit wasn't adequate or deal with bugs inside the home. After the first day, I contacted Airbnb to see if they could help with our living arrangement and they pretty much said they would have to follow the refund policy, meaning we would forfeit our entire cost if we checked out early. We didn't have the luxury to burn over $200 for our 3 night stay so we stuck it out. I left our stay in Ishigaki sweating, with bug bites all over, and really unhappy with the way our living situation ended up. Maybe the home is much more lovely in the winter but if it's hot, I wouldn't recommend this home at all.

The host was helpful. It's surely nice place and roomy. Hope there is clear instructions where all the things like toilet tissues and towels and how to throw garbage. The bins seem like recycle so we put garbage in the plastic bag and collect but the host was so angry and said I did jot follow the rule. We had to buy towels as we could not buy the 1st day and the host said the towels are near window. The answer was pretty blurry and it caused miscommunication and he got so angry. As we could not find tissue , I told him we will check again and he sent staff who has always angry face never say hello back. Just open the door with his spare keys without asking , dun say anything and do what he needs to do. And the host said he delivered the tissues and it cost 1500yen. The 1st day when we arrived we saw many ants in the house but let it go as it is bit rural area near the tomb. But that night when we came home we saw two centipedes which has poison. The host replied to us just kill them! Arggg and next day when we came back from breakfast there was black face staff put the insect killer inside house and we had to go out immediately because we have kids. Host blame that I broke curtain hooks which were just piece of fabric hooked with pin and tiny plastic. It fell down so easily but he said thank u so much for that???!!! To be honest, I m not sure I will even use airbnb again, I go back to hotel service. Why I have feel all this kinda of things during my vacation?

Aki's place is on the west side of the island, a 8-10 mins drive from city center, really accessible. We love the restaurants nearby, all along the coastline with breath-taking sunset view! The house is very silent on the mountain, and very clean and comfortable. Our family (4ppl) had a really really great stay. Highly recommended for everyone!! Ishigaki is a beautiful place with crystal clear water. Best place for water activities! We will surely come again :)

Tiffany2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Everything was fantastic! First of all, the house is perfect for us (family of four). It really was like a home away from home! We rented a car and drove to the place without problem! Aki-san has been super friendly and accommodating from start to finish, provided tips and recommendations! And always responded quickly to our enquiries! The information and leaflets in the house are all very organised! House is very clean and Aki san even provided some welcome drinks (definitely needed in hot summer days)! and very clear instructions for check-in process. Just think that this is a perfect airbnb experience, and definitely will come back and stay here again in the future, and will recommend this to anyone traveling to Ishigaki :D ありがとうございます!

Thanks Aki for taking care of us before and during our visit. Aki helped us a lot to find information and check with service provider because English was not always available. The house was new and clean. We stayed 7 nights. I want to share that sleeping on Japanese futons is not a problem although the bedroom has regular beds. Takao House is located close to the beach and you can get to the city by car quickly. Nice, quiet place on a little hill. When you come back from the dinner and get off the car, you can see the milky way in the sky in front of the house directly. So beautiful! We like Ishigaki very much and we want to come back soon and stay in Takao House again!

Amazing ~ Erika and Ryo were very helpful, they are close communicate before we arrive, 100% respond rate and fast react. Erika is a great English speaker, she taking well care of us, including every details debrief at her house, as well of some recommendations of local food and interesting travel points. The house is awesome, a big deck with a supreme comfortable area. Day time good sunshine, night time full of star in the sky. We never get board and even sometime we bought food to cook with their full equipments. Lastly, the house is just next to the beach by few steps. Clean and lovely place ~~ We miss for sunny cafe breakfast, Sunday is their holiday, we will take chance to try Ryo cooking next time. We love staying there and absolutely will stay again while we return to ishigaki.

I decided to use it for people who visit the building 1 rooms used in the share house for sightseeing etc.Customers abroad can use WI - Fi for free.Mobile Wi-Fi can also be borrowed for free.
The toilet, bathroom and kitchen are shared with the residents of other shared residences. You must comply with the rules and use it properly.
You can park a rental car for free on site.

It is a feature that there is a big terrace outside the room. You can also use tables and chairs with outdoor hammocks and sofas. You can overlook Taketomijima.
I am not preparing meals, so I need to use convenience stores and restaurants.

It is 7 minutes by car to the city area. Movement toward Kabira-wan is also convenient. It is a place where stars look beautiful if it is sunny at night.

Fantastic! My room is perfect for family with 2 kids below 6. The room is clean and comfy. There is a nicely decorated terrance equipped with table and swing beds. The host is friendly and offers excellent hospitality. He took us to extraordinary places in Ishigaki like a waterfall that you can swim under it. Suggested you check with him in (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) messager for transportation and availability.
